A collection of Confucius’s sayings brought together by his pupils shortly after his death in 497 BC, The Analects provides a moral code by which Confucius (one of the most humane thinkers of all time) believed everyone should live by, and these principles continue to shape Eastern philosophy, politics, and culture to this day.
Based upon ideals of responsibility, respect, self-knowledge, courage, kindness, and honesty, The Analects reflects qualities that are as relevant and sought-after today as they were twenty-five hundred years ago. Confucius believed that the pursuit of virtue should be every individual's supreme goal, and that following the Way would bring its own powerful and lasting spiritual rewards.
